2. This Sunday

Join us in worship THIS SUNDAY, January 21st

Word & Table Service at 8am | Modern Service at 9:15am |

Traditional Service at 11:00am

God comes to us differently, sometimes surprisingly, all across our years. God embraces us, comforts us, challenges us, and sometimes God does all those things at the same time. Have you heard from God lately? Who knows what God might put before you, and us, next. Join us Sunday as we explore the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 18:1-15. It’s all about God’s surprising call and what happens when we trust and say yes.

Diaper Drive

for the United Methodist Children’s Home

We are collecting diapers and wipes for the United Methodist Children’s Home and their foster parents. Our goal is to collect 200 items to present to our UMCH representative on Sunday, February 4th in worship at 9:15am and 11am. Donation bins are located in the Narthex. There is a special need for diaper sizes 5 and 6. Thank you for helping keep babies clean, dry, and healthy.

YOU can make a difference in the life of a child! We are looking for mentors to spend just one hour per week, reading, talking, playing and listening to a child at school. By helping the child feel loved and valued, you can help that child to learn, grow and succeed. Please email Cheri Loy at cheri_loy@gwinnett.k12.ga.us for more information.
